Execution III - Order Flow
The glue between your execution, and pretty much everything you do is your orderflow.
Theory
It's the weighing scale to dictate where price is going to, and what it is currently doing. We want to be able to carefully, and with rational understand what orderflow is doing. When it is clear.

In the above example, price is clearly respecting bearish arrays and taking out potential bullish arrays ; if that is the case, we then have clear bearish orderflow.
Majority of traders will think that there will be a market shift here, breaking that first array.
But that is not true, if the higher timeframe settings are still intact, such as your M15 and H1 ; middle man timeframe.

Price will simply just gravitate towards the main 15 minute array. Treating anything lower ; such as M5 highs as liquidity pools as interim BSL in this case.

This will also be the ideal distribution of liquidity where price creates a potential bull trap.
Think of this again, as layers and fractility. Keep testing your fractility.
For example; If price is in a 15 minute setup, being a sell model. and we see 2 minute move price move lower in the bearish leg trading away from the key level. But it then breaks something on 5 minute ; we simply just start increasing our timeframe. Remember your narrative and understand that orderflow is fractal as well.
So breaking the m5 high doesn't directly indicate a market shift, or a change in delivery.
Always look at your middleman, the higher timeframe analysis. Your M15.
Your SETUP is your glue in between your DOL Higher Timeframe analysis and your execution where you look for patterns

Now focus on where this usually happens, price needs to transact, needs to fair valuate moves Allowing market making capable participants to transact.
See how these are just little puzzle pieces, of the grander scheme of things

This should start opening some eyes for you, how often we have seen the setup
- Buy models
- Sell models
Now I want you to start looking at which part within these models you are most actively trading in. The ones that have clear targets.
Majority of the retracements and complex curves ( buyside or sellside ) will occur when we are trading back towards our OC - original consolidation.
So that would be;
SELL SIDE CURVE in SELL MODELS BUY SIDE CURVE in BUY MODELS

This doesn’t mean we cannot trade the first side of the model, we have discussed that in volume 1-2 quite a bit, playing towards that key level/potential DOL.
It could start getting confusing here.
But just remember, these are simply just the tools. I am shedding light on all the parameters here, and all the possibilities.
To highlight - this falls inline with what I call "simple" orderflow. Which coincidentally is also my favorite play ;) The second level distributions.

These could be any type of continuation play clearly distributing towards the OC.
